New Exhibit and Celebration Honor Legendary Jack CurfmanColorado State University's Lory Student Center celebrates the 20th anniversary of its dedication of the Curfman Gallery with a new exhibition and series of public events beginning Jan. 21.
Opened in 1968 as the Student Center Gallery, the university's premier exhibition space was renamed the Curfman Gallery in 1985 to honor Jack Curfman, a legendary exhibition designer and Colorado State professor emeritus responsible for the design of every exhibit shown in the gallery since its opening.
The celebration begins at 1 p.m. Jan. 21 in the Lory Student Center Theater with a rededication of the gallery.
The event will include a video with highlights of Curfman's past two decades and a tribute to the man behind the signature look of the exhibitions.
Patrons will then be invited to a special preview of the exhibit, "Gifts of My Past: The Eclectic Collection of Jack Curfman."
The exhibit officially opens with a reception from 4-6 p.m. on Jan. 23.
The one-of-a-kind exhibition, which has been hand-selected by Curfman, is intended as a public thank you to all those who have contributed to his collection over the years.
The event also celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Lory Student Center's dedication of its gallery space in his honor.
The exhibit will run through March 10.
